it would be great. if they want to continue their service, that s something different. every kid should give two years to their country, for sure. i am for this because i am 47. there is no way in hell i think if i was 20 if i was 17 i would be going, this is nuts. i am a hipocrite. mccrystal says if these guys would have a uniting thing they can go to a bar and talk about service. he has a point. that s a thing of the past though. look at who is draft age. it is the same people we saw during occupy wall street. that s exactly the reason. the best people i have ever met are the people who work at fox news who came from the military because they have a system here where they bring guys from the military. these guys are so much more they are just better people than m why. they make me feel like crap. i would like to feel that way all the time, not just an hour a day.
part of the troops that were fighting in vietnam. frustrating not to feel like i was there? well, he could feel like he was there a few years later if he went to see apocalypse now. every man who lived through the vietnam era who was at least of high school age at some point during the vietnam era, knows that mitt romney is lying in every word of that statement. every american who went to vietnam knows that every able-bodied man of draft age who didn t join the military made an active choice not to join. but the same mitt romney who said he kind of sort of wishes he d gone to vietnam also said, quote, when my dad said that he had been wrong about vietnam and that it was a mistake and they had been brainwashed and so forth, i certainly trusted him and believed him. so there s mitt romney saying he believed his father when his father turned against the vietnam war. and that at least consistent

lives for this nation. as commander in chief i can tell that you sending men and women into harm s way is the most heart decision to make. too much talk of loose war. back with us, david corn, joan walsh and jonathan capehart. first, the problem is the deferments themselves. he said in 94 he did nothing to take himself out of the draft. we find out he did just that. is it not a moral failure to keep telling lies? reporter: yes, it is a moral failing in general to keep telling lies. i think it will be important for governor romney to set the record straight. to try to square those two statements, one saying he didn t do anything to not serve in vietnam. then the evidence from a.p. of four deferments that got him out of vietnam. he is going to have to talk about that. he is running against an incumbent who didn t to have serve in vietnam because he wasn t of age. he waumt of draft age so it was
honesty that maybe alaskans will start to turn your way with that kind of honesty. you are of what used to be called draft age, military service age, and you probably have friends who have been in afghanistan or people you know from alaska who have gone there, but you haven t thought about yet what you would suggest as the best way to go forward there? no, i have not. the united states, as you know, is deeply unpopular in pakistan. do you think the pakistani government is protecting al qaeda within its borders? like i said, i don t want a whole lot of tv. frontiersman doesn t have a whole lot to say about that, when you re reading fron teersman ? apparently not because i m not brushed up on that. do you believe that the u.s. should negotiate with leaders like president assad and ahmadinejad? yeah, i do. i think that we should negotiate with everybody. that s the obama position. for a lot of people out there, you got that one right.
